Solution for my slight shake.

After installing my new wheels I noticed a slight shake. I thought
the wheels weren't balanced correctly. The other day I had my first
flat. They had to remove the wheel to repair the tire. While the
wheel was off an old timer stopped to talk. He asked if I was
running after market wheels. He pointed out round clips on 2 of the
lugs and said I needed to remove them. Apparently stock wheels have a
recess to allow for these clips. Many after market wheels, like mine,
do not. This keeps the wheel from seating flush.

I removed the clips from all the lugs and my shake is gone.

Thought I would pass alone this info. Maybe others can
benefit from it.

Well I have the stock tires and rims and my shake is above 80+ and its not slight.
Maybe its my tires from to many burnouts and all that fun s***.
After I get new wheels Ill see if the shake is there, and if it is then Ill try this.
Ill keep this in mind def.
